Yes, I was being a bit terse with my language, which is why I clarified a bit in my last comment. Here's how I might have written it better:

> FGM reconstruction actually seems to have negative outcomes post-surgery. I'm surprised by this.

Surgery is essentially mutilation, just in the physical sense (you are cutting through healthy tissue), not a moral sense (the whole point is to make the body more healthy). The information gathered from mapping nerve endings in a clitoris will hopefully help surgeons perform reconstruction surgery with less damage to the body.
